Finally the World Hears

Finally the world hears...
Finally the world sees and asks why:
The pain, the hardships and the tears,
And how can they be left to die?
On a camp built on a slag heap...
As the red dust to their lungs they breath...
How can the cowards sleep..
Knowing how evil was their deed?

The press though, strangely still are silent...
Hoping possibly in quiet something will be done,
Without fanfare the battle fought...
Is slowly being won...
The cost: the tears and sweat:
Of those brave volunteers...
Who lost their hope and their health
And will pay with their health in the coming years...

Why does it take so long to get theings done:
How, how, how and why, why why
This is the UN who caused and can solve this:
Why did these Roma children have to die?

FACTFILE

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

500 to 600 Roma are in camps in Mitrovica in Kosovo built on slag heaps of lead mines outside the city.

Lead levels are so high, a red cloud blows when its dry, and the water is discouloured with lead when it rains.

Many children have died of lead poisoning, and many more are showing signs of same in their teeth, and many more are severly brain damaged with the lead, cannot walk, etc.

- FACT: The UNMIK / UNHCR built the camps, knowing they had better land for a safer camp.

- FACT: In the past six years, they have refused to move the camps, denied there was a problem, denied there was deaths on the sites.
